Official Opening of Taylor'd Funerals - Hear about their wonderful support
Tuesday 11 June 2024
Unless you've been through it personally, it is hard to imagine growing a baby and then giving birth to a baby who's life is cut so incredibly short. Some babies don't make it home from hospital, while some babies don't ever take their first breath.
Never would a parent imagine enduring the painfully heartbreaking experience of having to lay their newborn baby to rest. Sadly however, in Australia, up to 1,000 babies will lose their fight for life due to prematurity or sickness at birth. It's an uncomfortable thing to speak about, but it is a heartbreaking reality for many families.
Back in 2022, Taylor’d Funerals began discussions with Miracle Babies, with the offer of Taylor’d Funerals providing Miracle Babies families with a funeral, which can be held at no cost. When hearts and dreams are shattered, Taylor’d Funerals are here to help Sydney's south-west families when their baby heartbreakingly loses their battle for life in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Each funeral - completely covered by Taylor'd Funerals - includes the transfer fee, all mortuary care, the coffin, coffin bouquet, hearse, 2 staff, celebrant, 1 hour viewing in the brand-new premises, 45 minute chapel service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park or Pinegrove Memorial Park, death certificate and medical referee, 10 single stem roses or 10 balloons, collection and return of ashes and a Miracle Babies memory box. To date, Taylor'd Funerals have provided 30 local families with a funeral service at no cost to them. A heartbreakingly high number, but a huge testament to the team at Taylor'd Funerals. Last week, Taylor'd Funerals were finally able to open their viewing premises. The rooms consist of the arrangement room, the adult viewing room, a coffin display room and The Ivory Room.

"The Ivory Room is a special room for us, and to be honest probably one of the first rooms of its kind in this industry. It evolved after I referred close family friends to another funeral home before the time of Taylor’d Funerals. Unfortunately, the experience for my friends who had unexpectedly lost their precious little girl Ivory was far from adequate during what was already a very distressing time for them. From this experience, I decided that no family would ever have to go through that again. And so, The Ivory Room was created.
